Union Research Papers Tracker

OPENALEX_EMAIL: Email for OpenAlex API polite access
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: Slack Incoming Webhook URL for notifications
PAT_GITHUB: Personal access token for pushing commits from workflows

Automated tracking system for union research papers from OpenAlex API, NBER, and IZA.

How it works

Three GitHub Actions workflows:

Daily data fetch: union_papers.R queries APIs, filters out false hits, updates CSV database
Weekly Slack notifications: send_slack.py sends formatted messages for new papers
Website deployment: Publishes interactive table to GitHub Pages when data changes

Papers are tracked for 365 days and filtered to include mentions of unions and to exclude papers with hits unrelated to labor unions.

See CLAUDE.md for detailed documentation.
